Was it Begin's fault or did the referee make an unfair call? Probably a bit of both. Begin's hit was late, and served no purpose. On the other hand, the Flyers got away with murder, as usual, for most of the game. Whichever way you want to look at it, the Flyers are up 3-1 heading back to the Bell Center. The Habs will have their backs to the wall and with the home crowd behind them, they will surely play their hearts out. Can they win 3 games in a row though? Well, let's face it...they've out played Philadelphia in every game this series, they just can't solve Biron. If they can do that, they can still win the series. They need to get more traffic in front of him and stop shooting from the outside so much. And most importantly, they need to score first.
The question now becomes...do they start Price, or Halak? You have to go with Price. The season is on the line and he's the goalie of the future, and the current number one. If they don't play him for this game, what message does that send him?
